@henrynormalpoet Nottingham Library Tour 🔔

Henry started Nottingham Poetry Festival, and was a big part of it becoming what it is today! For Henry, it all began with the libraries and it is our privilege to continue the library tour tradition even now, 10 years on.

With a different guest poet at each spot, expect poetry that is relatable and full of whit - you’ll definitely find yourself laughing throughout 💚 by @henrynormalpoetry

Back once again for another tour of Nottingham Libraries, @henrynormalpoet and friends treat us to a tour of the book palaces of our city. 📚

Henry is a writer, poet, television and film producer, founder of the Manchester Poetry Festival (now the Literature Festival) and co-founder of the Nottingham Poetry Festival.

In 2017, he received a special BAFTA for services to television. He co-wrote and script edited the multi-award-winning Mrs Merton Show and its spin-off Mrs Merton and Malcolm, and co-created and co-wrote the first series of The Royle Family. With Steve Coogan, he co-wrote Paul and Pauline Calf Video Diaries, Coogan’s Run, Tony Ferrino, Doctor Terrible, Coogan’s live tours, and the film The Parole Officer.

As co-founder and Managing Director of Baby Cow Productions, he executive produced and script edited numerous acclaimed projects, including Philomena, Gavin and Stacey, Moone Boy, The Mighty Boosh, Red Dwarf, Nighty Night, and Alan Partridge.

Since retiring in 2016, he has written and performed a series of BBC Radio 4 shows combining comedy, poetry and family stories. His memoir A Normal Family (2018), co-written with Angela Pell, became an Amazon bestseller.
